A Closer Look At The Covid Mortality Rate

Initially the World Health Organization, in their infinite incompetence, made a substantial contribution to this perception by claiming that the mortality rate from COVID was shockingly high.

While "Experts" could be forgiven for being unsure about the death rate of a brand new illness with very little data available, the fear-mongering and world-altering policy enacted based on these estimates has caused incalculable damage.

This had wide-ranging implications, but the most important revelation was that the estimates of COVID's mortality rate used by "Scientists" and the WHO were almost certainly much too high.

Ioannidis remained undeterred, and with several authors, he recently released another review of the infection fatality rate of COVID. Importantly, the paper looks at the pre-vaccination time period and covers the non-elderly age groups; those who were most affected by COVID restrictions and endless mandates.

The infection fatality rate of COVID-19 among non-elderly people in the absence of vaccination or prior infection is important to estimate accurately, since 94% of the global population is younger than 70 years and 86% is younger than 60 years.

The median infection fatality rate for those aged 0-59 was 0.035%. This represents 86% of the global population and the survival rate for those who were infected with COVID pre-vaccination was 99.965%. For those aged 0-69, which covers 94% of the global population, the fatality rate was 0.095%, meaning the survival rate for nearly 7.3 billion people was 99.905%. Those survival rates are obviously staggeringly high, which already creates frustration that restrictions were imposed on all age groups, when focused protection for those over 70 or at significantly elevated risk would have been a much more preferable course of action.

Ages 60-69, fatality rate 0.501%, survival rate 99.499% Ages 50-59, fatality rate 0.129%, survival rate 99.871% Ages 40-49, fatality rate 0.035% survival rate 99.965% Ages 30-39, fatality rate 0.011%, survival rate 99.989% Ages 20-29, fatality rate 0.003%, survival rate 99.997% Ages 0-19, fatality rate 0.0003%, survival rate 99.9997%.
